Why has my hot water gone cold and the pilot light is out?

A pilot light going out on a gas hot water system is one of the most common hot water failures we see in Sydney. Common causes include: a faulty thermocouple (the most frequent cause — it senses the pilot flame and shuts off gas if it fails), a blocked pilot orifice, a faulty gas valve, or a strong draught blowing the pilot out. If relighting the pilot does not solve the problem, call Rectify Plumbing on 0400 073 180. We provide 24/7 hot water repair across Berowra Heights, Hornsby, and all North Shore suburbs — most pilot light and thermocouple repairs are completed in a single visit.

What should I do if my hot water system is leaking or has failed overnight?

If your hot water system is actively leaking:
(1) Turn off the cold water supply to the unit — there is usually a dedicated cold water valve on the pipe feeding into the top of the tank.
(2) Turn off the power supply (for electric systems) at the switchboard, or turn the gas off at the meter (for gas systems).
(3) Call Rectify Plumbing on 0400 073 180 — we provide 24/7 emergency hot water service across Sydney and can usually attend within 60–90 minutes. Leaking hot water systems can cause significant water damage if the tank has failed — do not wait until morning.

How much does hot water system installation cost in Sydney?

Hot water system installation costs in Sydney: Gas continuous flow (Rinnai/Rheem): $1,400–$2,400 fully installed. Electric storage (all brands): $900–$1,600 fully installed. Solar hot water: $2,500–$5,000 depending on system size. Heat pump: $2,000–$4,000. Replacement of like-for-like (same fuel type, same location): $900–$1,800. All prices include supply, installation, removal of old unit, and connection. Rectify Plumbing services Castle Hill, Epping, Hornsby, Chatswood, and the Central Coast — call 0400 073 180 for a fixed quote.

Do you repair Rinnai, Rheem, and Dux hot water systems in Sydney?

Yes — Rectify Plumbing repairs and services all major hot water system brands including Rinnai, Rheem, Dux, Bosch, Vulcan, Aquamax, Solahart, Chromagen, and all others. We carry common spare parts for Rinnai and Rheem systems on our vans, allowing us to complete most repairs in a single visit. We service hot water systems across the North Shore (Berowra Heights, Hornsby, Chatswood, Turramurra, St Ives), Hills District (Castle Hill, Epping, Carlingford), and Central Coast (Gosford, Wyoming, Erina).

How long does a hot water system last in Sydney?

Hot water system lifespans in Sydney: Gas continuous flow: 15–20 years with annual servicing. Electric storage: 10–12 years. Solar hot water: 15–20 years. Heat pump: 10–15 years. Sydney’s water quality (particularly on the Central Coast and outer North Shore) can shorten tank life due to mineral deposits. If your system is older than 10 years and experiencing repeated issues, replacement is often more economical than continued repair. Rectify Plumbing will give you an honest assessment — we will never recommend replacement if repair is the better option.
